Asked By:mommymkover in California, CA

I had a Tummy Tuck with Liposuction 3 1/2 months ago i've been having problems. I had to go several times to my PS for aspiration of a seroma in my back and abdomen. At 4-5 weeks post-op i started feeling a hard lump/ball from my bb to my tt incision. I went to get an ultrasound and they told me i have fat necrosis and underneath it i have fluid. I went back to my PS and he wants to do a revision. He wants to reopen my incision but i dont know if that is the best option?
